A,
I forgot to get back to you earlier.
Unfortunately when I returned to the rare coin shop someone else had purchased the commem. coin.
This is unfortunate as I was going to get it as a 'Get Well' gift for my father.
----------
I also forgot to mention that I've listed the 1899 $1 silver certificate.
If anyone on the forum has time, please take a look at it on ebay and let me know how the listing looks overall.
www . ebay . com ;
Item number: 170277743492 ;
1899 $1 SILVER CERTIFICATE,Speelman&White,Near AU
----------------------------
I will probably be listing the $1 silver Certificate Funny Back shortly as well.
-------------------------
Hope the weekend is starting off nicely for everything, excluding the stock markets continued decline.

Best,

Greetings All,
Hope the holiday season is treating everyone well.
I am contemplating selling the 1899 $1 Silver Black Eagle
directly to the dealer.
The current dealer Ask is $195.
He offered me even Less than the Dealer at only $175.
However trying to sell at or near retail and now near Ask on ebay has proved unsuccesful.
Any thoughts?

I am not a bill collector, but was intrigued by the thread.
If I were you, I'd keep it! Unless ya need the dough.
I guess you have it encased between glass right now.
Take it to a frame shop, get acid free paper and mount the bill.
Your grandchildren will appreciate it in the future and you can appreciate it now.
Best of luck

Nice notes there. To get the pic files below 100K, one free utility I like to use is Irfanview. Always shoot for a file size < 100K whether you are uploading for display or emailing to someone. Thanks for sharing this bit of history.

IMHO, I would definitely keep the note, because it is seriously in a good condition, it has a history in your family, and $200 is just too little for such a note. If you need money, why not sell your iPod or game station or anything else? I would, since those mean almost nothing to me.

Anyways, I agree with wwhitman. You should definitely get this graded not just for the grade, but because it will add to the price and also protect the note, like in cases of this:

The secret to wealth is hanging on and not spending it. $200 or even $300 may look good to you now, but will regret it later.
